Ok guys pick a 2x 1gig stick pack that will run with the motherboard i picked above from the attached list :D

Or should I just get this bundle pack - http://www.nintek.com.au/x/scripts/prodVie...?idproduct=4513

Its the same mainboard but with OCZ PC4000 Gold GX XTC 2GB Kit (2x1GB 2048Mb) DDR500 ram included :P

my mate would and his pc keep rebooting every time he tried to play games so... i just buy faster parts rather than oc slower 1's to the faster speeds

Which is why you run the 3 programs I listed. It shows you were the limit of your hardware is without having to stumble around with reboots etc. :P

Usually reboots are caused by the ram, he was most likely running it way out of spec without enough voltage or the timings were too tight.

Push the cpu too hard and the system generally just locks, push the vid cards gpu too hard and it will lock, push the vid cards mem too hard and it will display artefacts, eventually leading to a lock. :D

Thats 'generally' how it works, do one thing at a time and individually so you know where the limits of that item are.

CPU, RAM then VID.

I'm not sure how that model of asus board overclocks. Head over to www.overclockers.com.au forum.

Basically you select the parts to suit each other.

If you want a feature rich motherboard such as the gigabyte then select pc3200 as the gigabytes in the 'past' are known for not being great overclockers.

ABIT, DFI and ASUS in the past have been awesome overclockers.

I'm all for overclocking.. I haven't had to upgrade my system in 3.5years it still is what I consider to have decent CPU power as it runs at 3200+ speeds. :P

If it were running at its stock speed of 2100+ well erm yer sloooooow.

Note I said in the past gigabyte were known for rich features but not so good overclock. still good but not as insane as some of the othes. :D

I have no idea where they are at now, I can't be buggered researching. :P

That Matts systems has a huge range of Motherboards.. A little exxy though.

RE: The Asus board.

This is a nice feature..

AI NOS™

Boost performance when you need it the most!

Applications such as 3D games and video editing demand a huge chunk of system resource. Inject "nitrous oxide" into your CPU! The patented AI NOS™ (Non-delay Overclocking System) technology intelligently detects system load and automatically boosts performance for the most demanding tasks. Unlike other dynamic overclocking techniques, AI NOS™ reacts much faster to satisfy your unending need for speeds .

Fast and furious style. lol

Well everyone.

Picked up my XBOX460 last night and so far i am very very impressed.

Having never owned an xbox before (i prefer japanese style games) i must say it is worth every dollar.

The new main menu system is so intuitive.

And now you can have multiple "gamer tags" what this means is when i use the 360 i load up my gamer tag and all my settings and everything are all done. So when i play a game i can only access my save data. So there is no confusion with my brothers as to who's save is who's.

Also i plugged my Ipod in the front with the USB and can listen to all the songs on it and control it all with the remote control which is awesom.

If anyone is thinking of getting one i would cos it's awesome.

I'm playing it through my parents 10 year old 51cm hitachi >_<, they have a sony 68 in the lounge and i have the old one.

It certainly looks better than ps2 or gamecube but my tv doesn't do it justice.

For 49 bucks though you can buy VGA cables for the 360 so i might just get that and run it through my 17inch LCD which will be much better.

I want to get a new tv but i'd rather spend the money on the car.

  • 1 month later...

Well i got the VGA cable and played through GRAW again and it's just amazing. Like playing a whole new game. The graphics are incredible. Well worth the money if anyone is thinking of picking on up.

Also i was thinking of getting a new graphics card but thought about it a bit and realised that with vista coming out end of the year or early next year with directx 10 i will probably be better off waiting till nvidia and ATi release dx10 compatible cards. Any thoughts?

yes i agree hold off until then but if u cant w8 just get a middle of the road card

i really wasnt blown away by GRAW i thought COD2 looks just as good if not better

the Crysis movies look good and is Dx10

Crysis 720p Trailer

I heard that vista wasnt all it was meant to be, according to some reviews on OCAU....i might stick with xp for now, and move over to vista later...

I cbf waiting for any new releases when buying my new comp gear in a couple of weeks. Something new is always coming, so whatever you buy will only last a certain amount of time anyway.

Yeah i can't imagine it being any worse.

I mean it'll be used in all new pc's and be in almost everyhome in the world with a computer so i can't imagine microsoft making it worse.

I'm buying it cos through dads work i can get it at corporate prices.

For example i got office 2003 last week for 100 bucks instead of retail of 280. Thats for profesional that is.

Also madaz i know COD2 has better graphics but i think the gameplay is much better in GRAW.

I finished COD2 on pc last year and i personally wasn't as blown away as when i played the first COD. Or more recently FEAR.

I have to agree.... FEAR is a half arsed decent game.

Definitely a different approach to a FPS.

I have the DVD version with an extra couple of vids on it, one of them is plain creepy, first time I saw it I had the head phones one watching, the creepy aspect of it made my spine tingle. :cheers:

    • And 90% of the time those people turn out to be wrong anyway. But they still treat themselves as a victim...
    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
